I have not forgotten, and hope to get to that this winter. So wish me luck on that if you will, I look forward to this little endeavor and will definitely post when it is done.
Regards and such,

You reminded me....I have one of those Indian fender lights stashed away!
Maybe I can come up with something in MY COZY HEATED GARAGE! Cable TV, and all my tools (and air compressor for those more radical tools) right at my finger tips!
Now, if I can find some buffalo leather (might know where to get some), I've been thinking about a front fender bib to match my tank bib and rear fender bib. Hmmmmm.........mount the bib, then mount the fender light on top of it.......run the wires for the light inside........if I have some leftover leather, a drive shaft cover.........
See, this is why I wanted to know what you guys were up to this winter! You guys get those "creative juices" flowing!
Now, what to do with that 1950's Harley spark plug box I picked up at a swap meet.......any ideas? It's just too cool to not use for something. Here it is: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/Drifter/IMG_0613.jpg

get it lined up with the TV for ease of veiwing and relaxing..... I will then spend the time doing some polishing and try and remove some marks and scratches from the fenders and tank. Then I have a really nice Indian head fender light to mount, front fender guard. Sissy bar for the seat too. I also want to powder coat a few parts so they will have to be removed for that. Then to finish it off do the spotlights for the front that I want, and that is my winter plans, other then a bit of time on the ice, fishing, and going to the curling club to watch some ends played. Nothing as good as fresh caught pickeral (walleye) from under the ice.
oh pcarrell, now to really mess with you. I'll not say anything bad today. Just to say that your ride is a really nice looking machine.

I'm not sure about much for my own ride, but I did notice that the back of my Harley toolbox could use some black paint. It's mounted where the rectifier used to be, and I never noticed the backside til I shot this pic the other day. Looks pretty ugly!

Other then that, maybe I'll do some more leather work. Maybe some custom fork covers?
So what's on your agenda?
